IPL 2025 Net Run Rate calculator News

Four teams — Gujarat Titans (GT), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Mumbai Indians (MI) — have qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs, but none have sealed a top-two finish yet. GT leads with 18 points but must beat CSK to stay in contention. RCB and PBKS, both at 17 points with two games left, need strong finishes to secure a Qualifier 1 spot. MI, with 16 points, must beat PBKS and hope other results go their way. Net Run Rate could be the deciding factor as the final league matches determine who gets the strategic advantage.

With three teams — Gujarat Titans, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru — already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs, the final spot is being contested by Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants. Mumbai are in pole position and can qualify directly with two wins. Delhi must win both their remaining games or risk elimination. Lucknow need to win all three remaining matches and hope for favorable results from other games. Net run rate could be a deciding factor if teams finish level on points. The DC vs MI clash on May 21 is likely to be crucial.

Delhi Capitals remain in the IPL 2025 playoff race with 13 points from 11 games. To qualify comfortably, they must win all three remaining matches against PBKS, GT, and MI, which would take them to 19 points. Even two wins (17 points) could be enough, but their Net Run Rate (currently +0.362) will play a crucial role in case of a tie. A single win leaves their fate to other results, while losing all games eliminates them. Axar Patel’s leadership, smart tactics, and big individual performances will be vital as every match ahead is a virtual knockout for Delhi.
